Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has attended the 12th prime ministers’ meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. Li made six proposals for accelerating interconnectivity within the organization.
Li Keqiang called for member states to deepen regional security and coordination on counter-terrorism. He said they should strengthen economic integration along the "Silk Road Economic belt" and facilitate trade and investment. They should move more quickly towards settlements in local currencies. They should also improve ecological and energy cooperation, as well as people-to-people communication.
The leaders of the member states issued a joint communique, saying they have reached a consensus on seeking economic cooperation and people-to-people communication within the framework of the SCO. The SCO members are China, Kazakstan, Kyrgizstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
